"Hey qt. cant wt till i c u again. ur hot an' I wanna c more"
Well, she seemed classy.
qt?
There is of course a possibility that she was drunk. But then again, qt?
c more?
I shouldn't be so quick to make fun. I've been guilty of the odd horribly embarassing text message in my time. I sent a two text message to a girl once apologizing for not calling her when I said I would, explaining that things were awkward with the timing and asking what she was doing that night. I think I sent this message at around 3am. Now who's classy?
Or the time when I sent an abusive message asking where on earth my (then) girlfriend was when she'd promised to meet me at a club. She was one table over and I was just too drunk to see her.
It's actually very disappointing that I get this tacky message now since my roommate is now embarking on a pseudo relationship. They aren't in one (cough cough) but they go on dates, call each other at night, text each other, and sleep over on cold nights. How much closer can you get?
I'm not green with envy or anything like that, I'm happy being single and going on the occasional date. I do kinda miss snuggle time though.
Ugh.

No, I concur that it is slightly irritating when people seem to suddenly lose all ability in terms of literacy the second they get their hands on a phone. I always write people full words myself: I find that there are enough characters in a text message to do it properly, and it's one area where I'm not lazy, surprisingly. You can always bring it up with her tactfully though - I actually think that making people consider the hidden sensitivities of their communication styles can be a good thing for them, and for your future communication with them.
Actually, it leads me to also think about emails.
I hate receiving emails that aren't written in the Dear Ambrose letter form. In fact, if an email starts with just your name, and then the name of the person who wrote it at the end (no pleasantries) you can bet it's an angry or unpleasant email 9 times out of 10. That's my observation, anyway.

Text messaging is evil.
I dated a girl who LOVED the text messaging.
It was irritating as hell.
What's up Am?!
Have a great day!

Hm, am I the only one sad enough to have kept the saucy/romantic texts I've received? Just the really juicy ones you understand. And I always apostrophise correctly as a matter of principle.

I personally detest text messaging. This girl I once dated apparently thought it was the most efficient form of communication apparently, because she tried to do everything (including addressing the reasons why we were breaking up) via text message. She text me: "You're the one who walked away so don't try to blame me." I believe I left her a very curt voicemail saying: "I refuse to discuss this over text message and will not peck my way through explaining my behavior to you. I think we have enough fingers to be able to dial a number on a phone."
Needless to say, we broke up. Over phone. But at least it wasn't via 'txt mssg'. (ha ha)
If you do get to know the girl better, I would do as Ambrose suggests and bring it up at some point, albeit in a polite, even joking way. Better to nip it in the bud fast and early! : )
